Bomb Threats

If a bomb threat is received by phone or in writing, call 911 and relay information about the call/written material. (This will help the 911 operator assess the risk factor)
If there seems to be an immediate threat, the 911 operator will advise you to evacuate immediately. When evacuating the building, follow building Evacuation Procedures.
Notify the Dean’s office (5-9127 or 5-9128) and Public Services (5-9251) of the situation at the Library. During evenings/weekends, follow the Emergency Telephone List.
If the building is not immediately evacuated, the University Police will generally send officers who will give management options if it is viable (i.e. evacuation, notifying patrons about staying open, etc.)
If officers decide to evacuate the building or notify library users of the threat, library staff may be asked to help.
